12 dead in Paris shooting

[Coligny]

And a police dog killed..

Ouch. Now even the Corbyn-ites will be out for blood.

No. Corbynites love cats, and thusly hate dogs which are associated with the police, property ownership and responsiblity.

You forgot shitting on sidewalks, pissing on cars and eating their own puke.

[wagyl]

To be fair dogs eat any puke, not just their own.

Time for China to join the party.

China vowed on Thursday to "bring to justice" those responsible for executing one of its citizens after Islamic State said it had killed a Chinese captive, the first and so far only known Chinese hostage held by the group.

Islamic State said it had killed a Norwegian and a Chinese captive, showing what appeared to be pictures of the dead men under a banner reading "Executed" in the latest edition of its English language magazine.

It did not give any details in the online Dabiq magazine, published on Wednesday, about how, when or where the men were killed.

In a brief statement, China's Foreign Ministry confirmed the man's identify for the first time, naming him as Fan Jinghui, saying he had been "cruelly murdered". It said in September one of its citizens appeared to be in Islamic State captivity.

After he was kidnapped, the Chinese government activated an emergency mechanism to try and "rescue" him, but he was still killed in a "cold-blooded way", the ministry said.

"The Chinese government strongly condemns this savage act devoid of humanity and will certainly bring the criminals to justice," it added.

"The Chinese government will resolutely oppose all forms of terrorism, and resolutely strike at any violent terrorist criminal activities that defy the bottom lines of human culture," the statement said.

"China will continue to strengthen anti-terrorism cooperation with the international community to maintain peace and tranquility in the world."

What exactly does "activated an emergency mechanism" mean here? Offered to pay them off?

[Coligny]

Great, more Chinese foreign operations... Just what we need...
If they are as subtle as the Russians the place is going to look like an upturned cat shitter...

Wait...

Nevermind..

[Tsuru]

What are the Chinese going to do? Sneeze at them? For all their hype the Chinese have about the same global power projection capability as my cat.

[Yokohammer]

China really needed an excuse to bomb some shit, and now they have it. They need the opportunity to test out their toys and get some real-world experience. How that'll go remains to be seen. If the wheels fall off they can always hitch a ride with Putin.

Mass tourism. Phalanxes of situationally-unaware Chinese tourists will be dispatched to block their sidewalks and escalators (both sides), paralyzing the ISIS/Daesh/whatever infrastructure.

[Yokohammer]

That's a thought ... they could swarm over to Raqqa and be so rude that the Daesh simply lose the will to live.

Well... They got IL76 and 40t MBTs... At worse they take the highway, drive overnight and don't stop to often to pee...
So...
You might want to avoid fucking too much with that kitteh...

[Tsuru]

As long as it's broadcast right to my living room. Remind me to stock up on popcorn when the Chinese do anything other than act passive-aggressively towards their neighbours.

[wagyl]

The certainly aren't being as proactive as the Japanese. (Warning: link to a media outlet which used to be quite good before selling out to a Russian oligarch and spamming everyone with the 10 best tam-o-shanters for your golfing trip to Rhyl)

That site is too squeamish to report the faith of the victim, unlike Yahoo!, but I did want to link to the original source. And to name the tube line correctly.

[kurogane]

Does the idea that we have reported on the death of a fucking living tool not offend anybody else yet?

IT WAS A FUCKING DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Obviously, 300 cats would have been better........ (Yes, you, mon ami)

[Tsuru]

One police dog is a greater tragedy than all fundementalist shitheads combined.

I can't for the life of me imagine why the media is so eager to report their names... there was one shooting recently in the US where the police refused to release the name of perpetrator to keep him from becoming famous. That is the fucking key, people. I don't need their names, just report how many were shot to pieces. Show their corpses on national TV and post them on facebook for all I care, but no names. Let them fade away anonymously.

The dog was named Diesel though, that is important. All dogs go to heaven.

Well said. Woof woof woof bow wow.

Still gay. Just a dog. If we're going to start a cull, there's no need to get soppy about it first.

Ouch. Now even the Corbyn-ites will be out for blood.

You have drunk deep of the anti Corbyn kool aid

The mainstream media is run by very rich people who are very afraid of democracy electing real socialists. Hence the continual barrage of anti Corbyn propganda.

Did he kiss the Queen's ass ?

The question should be why should a democratically elected leader have to swear allegiance to an undemocratic institutionalized grandma?

But the media focus on did Mr C kiss her ass at the privy.

Well put, and agreed.

Disagreed. If you want to change the game, or even just the rules, do that, but play nice until you achieve your objective. I thought he looked like an obstinate prat. In fact, I think he usually manages to. I had high hopes for him but his total lack of humour and twattish earnestness make him boring at best. Which won't stop me from munching my popcorn and cheering while he takes a run at the establishment. As you have noted, he presents a fundamental and "dangerous" challenge to the shell game being played. Amusing how principled pacificism and dedication to humanity are seen as so dangerous. But I don't have to like him, or even everything he does, and his public persona is verging on disastrous.

EDIT* It seems the people whose opinions matter more than mine don't share mine anyways:

Jeremy Corbyn ahead of David Cameron in latest leadership ratings
Jeremy Corbyn was the only one of the four Westminster party leaders not to see a fall in his leadership satisfaction ratings over the last month

Nice news. I was rather concerned that his Debate Club Leader prattishness had harmed his effectiveness. Maybe somebody slipped some of that Kool Aid into my hand pressed organic whole leaf herbal tea while I was darning my mulesing free organic wool stockings?

Where does The Independent sit on the Shameless Media Lackey continuum?

I did, and I'm pretty sure it was the closest I've been to experiencing the effect of a seizure without actually having one. Best description would be "medieval".

Really. Utterly appalling woman and a completely straw man argument. Yes, of course, just because the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful people doesn't mean that we don't have to do anything about the ones who most definitely aren't. The original question was simply, isn't an important part of that battle winning the ideological contest.

Her figure of 15% to 25% of Muslims not being peaceful people was simply pulled out of thin air. "According to all the intelligence services" - Really? And they all talk to you in confidence I suppose.

She was also being disingenuous by not stating what she thought the, non politically correct, solution was. Her ilk often do this - The answer is probably along the lines of let's get out there and kill as many of them as quickly as possible and we are not going be too fussy about whether we are actually getting the right ones or not.

And if the peaceful majority is so irrelevant then I wonder what she thinks about gun control? Surely the same logic applies - The vast majority of gun owners are responsible but that is irrelevant. It only takes one hormone driven teenager with a gun to take dozens of lives. Again and again. It only takes one careless mum and a toddler shoots itself or a sibling or someone else. Over and over. The peaceful majority is irrelevant. We have to control their guns, and if they don't comply then they are gun fanatics and we have to kill them before they kill us.

Stupid bigoted cow.

Might be the number of muslim who actually don't drink alcohol or eat pork...
Had muslim friend in my catholic highschool, they where doing ramadan to avoid pissing off grand'ma and could outdrink anyone including our economy teacher that I never saw sober in the afternoon for all the time I spent there. Lucky she was a happy drunk...

I'm not sure it's a strawman though. The Logical fallacy "i saw a nigger steal stuff once, so those that don't steal didn't help, let just kill them all" it's true that the other didn't do much. But just stating this is, as true as it is irrelevant to the situation. It's a non sequitur. You are padded cell material when you shit out this kind of argument.
Crap, now i see the structure, stating true facts and linking them to back an unrelated conclusion.

Ok Comrades, that's getting a bit embarassing and people will start asking questions...

Putin to France: Give Me Map Showing Where to Bomb in Syria

Moar: http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-t ... ia-n470251

One thing that striked me is that during a common press conference Hollande addressed Putin with "Tu" (you but for family and friends) instead of "vous" (you for anybody else. Not excessively honorific at all. You use "vous" starting with the postman...)

It has been a Fench practice between leftists/communists to never use "vous" for single individuals (after that for groups it a gramatical requirement...)
As per usual, no reaction could be read from Putin's face or behaviour...

Might have to check if he did it with Obomba. Pretty sure he alway only referred to Merkel as Lady Merkel in public. (And Mama Kraut in private)

Israel PM admits forces operating in war-hit Syria

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted for the first time Tuesday that Israeli forces have been operating in Syria, where the Iran-backed regime is battling rebels including the jihadist Islamic State.

"We also do everything to prevent weapons, particularly lethal ones, being moved from Syria to Lebanon," he added.

Netanyahu did not provide further details and his comments were the first public recognition that Israel has been active in conflict-riddled Syria.

Several purported strikes have occurred in recent months, targeting alleged Iranian arms transfers from Syria to Lebanon and destined for Israel's arch-foe, the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah.

But these strikes were not officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities.
